Even though Jodie has parents, her memories of them do not exist. When editing in SimPE, her zodiac sign is not recognized. Like all pre-made playable Sims in Open for Business who don't have partners, she has no gender preference at the start of the game. Jodie and her brother have almost the same facial structure - Jodie's eyebrows are thinner and are lower down on her face - but not the same skin tone. They also share the same interests.
